“Ulu Ka ‘Ōhi‘a a Lau Ka Wai”
ʻŌhiʻa spreads...water is profound!
Hula is the profound dance of environmental kinship. Our ancient chants say that when we HULA we are in communion with our nature-selves...we are in sacred exchange with the tree people, the people in the dirt, the volcano people, the cloud people, & the mountain people. Indeed, the very elements that we dance & chant about are also IN US!
You can expect:
* the cosmology of hula
* hula & related mythologies
* the study of the mele as a treasure chest of information
* hula art
You will learn:
* hula images in the land, ocean and sky
* hula ‘aiha’a as ritual hula
* hula and wahi pana
* basic Hawai‘i language
through mele hula
* how we relate to the hula process in our daily lives
And don't forget!
* the function of Laka, Pele, Hiʻiaka and related environmental deities and an examination of “who” these energies are in the natural environment
* hula vegetation & sea life as manifestations of hula images

Learner Reflections
"I could feel the beauty and the greatness of nature more."
"I began to look at myself, and all my other connections more deeply (my own reflection, family, companion, plants, and community)"
"The existence of friends who connect through learning is great. Even if I can only meet online, I can feel the connection. I don't know what it is yet, but I feel relieved."
